[Chorus]
Take me back
Take me back where I belong
That is with you baby
Ah take me back
Take me back where I belong
That is with you baby
[Verse 1]
I thought the grass was green on the other side
Thought the sun shone brighter without saying goodbye
There is a card in my hand
Tears fall like rain
I want to come home again
I want you to
[Chorus]
Take me back
Take me back where I belong
That is with you baby
Take me back
Take me back where I belong
That is with you baby
Ain't no love in this world
Ain't no love in this world without you
[Verse 2]
In my search to find myself
I saw your face and nothing else
Every place I go with everything I do
I still feel the need for you
Come on and
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I am on my way back to you
And I want to make it up to you
And all the problems that I caused you
If it takes my life I will make it up to you
I just want you to take me, take me
Take me, take me, take me, take me
[Outro]
Take me back, forgive me
Take me back where I belong
If you can, if you can find it
In your heart to forgive me
Take me back
Take me back where I belong
That is with you baby
Ah take me back
Take me back where I belong
That is with you baby
[Verse 1]
I thought the grass was green on the other side
Thought the sun shone brighter without saying goodbye
There is a card in my hand
Tears fall like rain
I want to come home again
I want you to
[Chorus]
Take me back
Take me back where I belong
That is with you baby
Take me back
Take me back where I belong
That is with you baby
Ain't no love in this world
Ain't no love in this world without you
[Verse 2]
In my search to find myself
I saw your face and nothing else
Every place I go with everything I do
I still feel the need for you
Come on and
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I am on my way back to you
And I want to make it up to you
And all the problems that I caused you
If it takes my life I will make it up to you
I just want you to take me, take me
Take me, take me, take me, take me
[Outro]
Take me back, forgive me
Take me back where I belong
If you can, if you can find it
In your heart to forgive me
